Angels’ Joe Blanton settles down after rough start

Cespedes, who hit 26 homers with 80 RBIs last year, lined his hit in the fifth off Joe Blanton. Jed Lowrie and Josh Donaldson singled earlier in the inning.

Blanton went 2-14 with a 6.04 ERA last season. He gave up two runs and three hits with a walk in 2 1/3 innings. He finished up strong in his first appearance of the spring, retiring the last six batters.

Angels first baseman Albert Pujols went 0 for 3. He struck out, fouled out and grounded into a double play with the bases loaded.
